Instant messaging (IM) (network service)

You can send instant messages to anyone who uses the same IM service as you do,
as long as you have that person’s user name. You can also add that person to IM
contacts during an IM conversation. See “IM contacts” on page 90 for more
information. More than one IM conversation can be active at the same time.
Conversations lists all active conversations by IM contact name. Select one of the
names to open the conversation with that person. The contact’s name is displayed at
the top of the screen, and as the conversation progresses, the most recent message
appears at the bottom of the screen, causing the last message to move up one level.

Start a conversation

You must be able to select a contact who is online before you can begin a conversation.

From the IM main menu, select Conversations.

Select Options > New conversation > Select recipient or Enter User ID.

If you choose Select recipient, a list of your IM contacts who are currently
online is displayed. If you select Enter User ID, you must enter the exact user
ID of the contact.

After you select a recipient, a conversation view is opened with the recipient’s
name displayed at the top of the screen. The conversation is still active, even if you
leave the conversation view. You can return to it when you want by selecting
Conversations from the IM main menu.

Write and send to contact

Start a new conversation or open an active one from Conversations.

Enter your message in the field at the bottom of the screen. See "Write text"
on page 44.

To send the message, press the Scroll key, or select Options > Send.

The message is displayed in the conversation view for that contact.

Receive message and reply

When you receive an instant message, your phone beeps (if the phone is not set to
the Silent profile) and the sender’s reply appears beneath the most recent message
in the conversation.

Select Conversations from the IM main menu and open the conversation with the
new message indicated by the

icon. You can also select IM contacts from the

IM main menu, and the new message icon is displayed by the contact who sent you
the message. Select the name to open the conversation.
